Siobhan's weight loss journey - fat to fabulous!

[Siobhan89]

Well so far on my first day on step 2 i've had 2 products and my milk allowance (used it to make my choc shake) it was sooooo sweet and sickly! i felt sick drinking it! Went out shopping after i had it n about an hour afterwards i felt really bloated hope it's just my body adjusting to the milk! also got this horrible trapped wind feeling in my chest, everytime i take a sharp intake of breath it's sore. I was chewing gum earlier so i think that might be the culprit. Still to have my 3rd product and my high protein meal but i'm not even hungry after all that milk!! But i know i NEED to have it. CDC reckons my body has finally hit starvation mode as i've stayed the same this week and my water levels are bang on the same too. So 2 weeks on step 2 and 2 weeks on step 3 on the build up to my holiday and she said if i feel like i want to return to step 2 when i come back then i can. I'm finally allowed to drink diet juice n diluting juice too yay! although went into wh smith earlier when i was out shopping and felt so guilty at picking up a diet coke that i swapped it for coke zero!!! lol Anyway hope everyone is having a good day xx

Aren't diet coke and coke zero pretty much the same?

yeh pretty much! except that diet coke has citric acid which isn't good for ketosis, but i don't need to worry about that anymore. Still feel guilty though coz i haven't had it in 3 months lol xx

 

[Little_Ali]

Ah that's good to know tho. I didn't realise.

Old habits eh? Good luck on stage 2.

No probs I didn't even know u could have the occasional coke zero on step 1 til I joined this forum yeh exactly! Thanks how u getting on? xx

ok since i've reached the 12 week and 3 stone mark i thought i would upload some more comparison pictures. I still can't physically see a drastic difference myself, still wish my legs were slimmer (i have total rugby players legs lol yuck) anyway be nice....

Can't believe how full step 2 makes u feel! God help me when I need to go to step 3 before hol :/ I actually had to force myself to have my 3rd product last night! Just had my bar washed down with 3/4 of a pint of skimmed milk - its a LOT of milk!! Decided to drink it straight (u'd think I was talking about vodka) instead of as a choc shake and it was actually not bad! went nice with the cranberry bar. Going out shopping again today before work to hopefully get in the last of my holiday clothes which will just leave toiletries to get.

Still have trapped wind in my chest can anyone suggest anything to help? I've tried water, gulping a fizzy drink, had my sister beat my back and now milk (which I'm hoping shifts it) it's sore xx

 

[Little_Ali]

Aw hun the trapped wind is horrible I suffered from that loads when I was preggers for some reason.

As for your pics there's a massive difference. You can easily see how much you've lost. And your legs are fine!

You're doing so well. Hope the SS+ is going ok.

The milk has helped slightly but I do think the chewing gum is to blame! Need to lay off it lol

Thanks! Just don't think my brain has caught up with my body yet! I'm on 810 now so it's slightly more than SS+ and I'm feeling so full especially after drinking the milk but I am enjoying the diet coke hope u are getting on ok too xx

 

[Siobhan89]

I am really enjoying step 2 but I feel like I'm having that much that I won't lose any weight even tho I know I will. (well maybe not this week as I'm having a night off plan on Saturday). Just had a cranberry bar washed down with my milk allowance and my tummy feels so full! Had my first can of diet irn bru last night in over 3 months and it was heaven!

Really wish ppl would stop saying that I'm 'fading away' it's so bloody annoying!

Really can't wait til my holiday now but struggling to find anymore summer clothes - all the autumn things seem to be coming in just now the summer sales are rubbish too! Just can't wait for some sun!! 4 weeks tomorrow and counting...

Gonna have a day in today since its so wet outside! It's my mums birthday today but she's working so we're not going for dinner or anything which I'm glad about, she did go out on sat night tho for it. Anyway have a gd day anyone who's reading xx

 

[Siobhan89]

Ok so there may be a downside to 810 - no ketosis! Which means hunger pangs ahhh!! So far today I've resisted McDonald's (sister said 'u want a chip?') lol and sis was baking cakes for an event she's goin to tonight and I didn't even lick a spoon or eat a crumb but hunger pangs have started so think I better go n make my high protein meal!! xx

 

[ChrissyRiley]

Oh I'm not looking forward to that!
Hunger pangs are my worst enemy!
I reach for the phone and order my fave chinese LOL!
Oh well I guess I'll have to deal with it at some point eh!

Yeh but if there's one thing SS plus teaches u it's to never go back to you're old habits or have to start it all over again lol I'd hate to go through 12 weeks of it again xx

 

[Little_Ali]

Hope today has gone ok. When is your weigh day? Also how long are you doing 810 for?

My weigh in is on Monday. I'm on 810 for 2 weeks then step 3 for 2 weeks to build up til I go on holiday in 4 weeks and then when I'm back either back to SS or 810 but I'll decide that when I see what my losses are like lol xx

 

[Little_Ali]

Ah that makes sense. Well fingers crossed you still lose whilst you're on 810. It'll be interesting to see how you get on cos I'll have to do that eventually. Good luck.

Thanks hope it gives my metabolism a bit of a boost after losin nothing this week xx

 

[Siobhan89]

Plodding along today, off to my besties to get a spray tan off out on sat night for her bday n I cannot wait!! Hoping it doesn't affect my loss on Monday too much. Had a bar, shake and milk allowance so far. Still to have my high protein meal and final bar later. Just not liking the hunger pangs on this step but it's just a case of controlling and not giving into them which I haven't so far! Still 4 weeks til holiday to shift some more excess baggage xx

 

[Siobhan89]

Just back from weigh in and my friend commented on how much my shape has changed xx
